Disney is developing a new action adventure film that's set in the great state of Hawaii. The studio has hired screenwriter Joe Gazzam to take a crack at the script. The movie is described as being in the same vein of Indiana Jones, and the story is said to include, "some supernatural elements and revolves around a gauntlet sent down from gods taken from Polynesian mythology."

This could be a very cool movie. There's a ton of great Hawaiian mythology to play around with, and it will be interesting to see how this movie turns out. To give you an idea of what we might expect, Gazzam has also written 21 Jump Street, Barbarella and Step Up Revolution. He's also set to write a big screen adaptation of a TV series called It Takes a Thief for Universal pictures, and Will Smith is apparently interested in starring in it.

What do you think about this new Hawaiian adventure film that Disney is making. Where would you like to see the story go?
